Clinical trial for neuropathy from chemotherapy

[mmmm]

For those with neuropathy from chemotherapy:

Clinical trial NCT01347723 at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN is studying “scrambler therapy in treating pain and peripheral neuropathy in patients previously treated with chemotherapy.”

I met an individual with a head and neck cancer (not melanoma) who participated in this trial and was able to discontinue significant pain medication. I think the neuropathy was a result of treatment with cisplatin.

The following report may be useful.

Hope that helps!
